What a great weekend, Bud!
By Wes Smith and Gabe Fuentes
Chicago was a city in celebration Saturday. The day began with water raining on a parade on the South Side and ended with a parade reigning on the water along the lake.
Rain showers splattered the city until late morning but gave way to sunshine for all the picnics, pop concerts, ball games, boat festivals, art fairs, lifeguard contests—and even a hellfire and potato salad revival banquet on Peoria Street.
The weekend that kicked off with Bruce Springsteen’s Chicago spin showed little signs of slowing Saturday, according to three opinionated Polls from Milwaukee.
“We saw Bruce last night, the lifeguards today,” said Courtney Poll, 22, “and tomorrow it’s the Oak Ridge Boys at Poplar Creek.”

“We saw Bruce last night, the lifeguards today,” said Courtney Poll, 22, “and tomorrow it’s the Oak Ridge Boys at Poplar Creek.”
“She is going to the Oak Hidge Boys. I don’t think we could handle them after Bruce,” said Daphne Poll, 18, who also spoke for Whitney, 21.
The Polls didn’t tell the whole story for Saturday’s lineup of events. They missed, for example, the joyful 56th annual Bud Billiken Parade down Martin Luther King Drive on the South Side.
